I have a Eureka model 2071 which has a missing brushroll (I do not have the old one). I need to find a new one, but I cannot find another one that looks like it would mount similarly. It looks like it should have a small square at the end? Does anyone know of the part number that I need, or...

Yeah, what you are describing is what I remember this vacuum being like, I tried it again last week and it actually seems to be fine now, my blender motor model is easier, but it isn't as bad as I remember. Maybe I was thinking of a different machine. Either way, thanks for the info and I will...

No, it is a single speed model, it has the cheap seeming push button foot switch. I do much prefer a switch on the handle.

Well the extra fan that I already tried had blades that were slightly too tall, they were hitting the bottom housing. But really, if anything I would like to reduce the suction on this machine, because it is too hard to move on the thicker carpet because it sucks down to it. My other eureka with...

Cool, any idea about the fan I need?

I just picked up a Eureka model 2061-D. It is in pretty good condition except for a bit of scuffing on the hood, It has the "ESP" 6.5 amp motor, which honestly I am not a big fan of. It would be fine for lower pile carpet, but I have pretty thick carpet, and the "blender motor" Eureka machines...

One more question I have, and it is more about the power nozzle than the vacuum itself... Like mentioned, I have a model G and some other older style machines, which use the old style hose with the plug on the side of the vacuum for the power nozzle... I have a nice electric hose, and would like...

So, the cord winder was working perfectly fine, then I took it apart and it would no longer latch in the out position. I did the good ole give it a good whack trick which fixed it, and it seems to be working just fine now. That is a trick I got used to doing every time I wanted to use my model G...

I am going to keep the original hose, of course I will remove the tape and put it away somewhere safe. I do plan on getting a vinyl hose, and it will be a genuine one,not a cheap knockoff. I also have all of the tools you mentioned (not for this exact vacuum, but for my other Electrolux...

yeah, I am good with the price. It is more than I usually spend, Most of what I get is from thrift stores or the flea market for like $10, but not bad at all. I have seen A LOT worse. That is an AKAI GZ-4000D, came out of a bar my friend used to own, it's got a lot of hours on it, but has never...

yeah. the main reason I bought it was because of the power nozzle. I had one like this one a long time ago, but not the wand that went with it, and somehow that got gone, and I have what I believe is a PN-1 that came with my automatic G, but it has an attached plastic wand that is not removable...

I was actually wondering about that myself. I thought at first it was missing/broken, but nothing is missing/broken and it does not look like someone messed with it.

Of course now the cord reel is acting up, I didn't even mess with it. I will have to take it back apart and see what I did.

yeah, it does not have it. I successfully took it apart and lubricated the bearing. While I was in there, I checked the brushes because there was a lot of carbon dust. They only have about 1/2 inch left, not sure how long they were originally, but I am guessing they need to be changed sooner...

cool, I guess I should probably eventually lubricate that as well.

Yep, it has been sitting there in that same spot for over a decade waiting on someone to buy it. I wonder hoe much longer it would have sat there if I did not buy it. I remember going in there when I was little with my dad and I was looking at it then, and then again about 3 years ago with my...

I took the power nozzle apart and oiled the motor (which uses sleeve bearings) and it sounds and runs a lot better. It was pretty stiff. are the bearings in the motor sleeve type bushings as well, or are they ball bearings?

I accidentally bought another vacuum today. I was out and decided to drop into the pawn shop that is by my house. I normally don't go to pawn shops as they normally want way too much for things, and only have modern stuff that "people want to buy". This one is a bit different and I have found a...

I got the parts It definitely is working a lot better now that the brushroll is not flopping all around. Thank you very much for that. I am going to take it to my friends car lot tomorrow which has lower pile carpets and see how it does on them (I doubt that that have been vacuumed for at...

quite interesting. Kirby has certainly had some ideas over time. I actually vacuumed with my Kirby 519 using odorific in the pocket today. I have a few old bottles that were tucked into the bag of my D80 when I bought it. The bottle I have now is the last one, and it is quite old. I know they...
